The moderator of fediscience made this bot and I know you’ve got these and other interesting weather ones. Ideas for him?
AI6YR Ben@atthenius @FrankSonntag @noaa_hrrr_smoke_forecast_bot Woohoo! I have been staring at the dang page of various HRRR smoke forecasts scratching my head on how the heck to figure out which one to pull. Requires a PhD in meteorology, LOL.
@atthenius @FrankSonntag @noaa_hrrr_smoke_forecast_bot What I would *LOVE* to see is a spaghetti model bot for hurricanes...
@ai6yr @atthenius @noaa_hrrr_smoke_forecast_bot Will put it on the list. Will contact you again for details if I may.

@FrankSonntag @atthenius @noaa_hrrr_smoke_forecast_bot Thanks! As a non-meteorologist who has been diving into this, it's been a heck of a lot of a learning process all about this (writing software to digest GRIB2, even....)
